2006 DOVA DV-1 SKYLARK, 946 SNEW AF/ENG, ALL METAL LIGHT SPORT, ROTAX 100 H.P. 912ULS, MISC. REPAIRABLE DAMAGE, CHEAP MODERN AIRPLANE!
THE LIGHT SPORT RULES, WHICH ALLOW A PILOT AND ONE PASSENGER TO FLY A SMALL LIGHT AIRPLANE, UP TO 120 KNOTS (138 MPH), WITHOUT REQUIRING A MEDICAL EXAMINATION, HAS BEEN VERY POPULAR SINCE IT"S INTRODUCTION.
AN OWNER IS ABLE TO DO MORE TO HIS/HER AIRPLANE THEMSELVES, THE TRAINING REQUIRED IS 1/2 THAT OF A NORMAL PRIVATE PILOT, AND THERE AIRCRAFT AR OFTEN SPORTY AND MODERN, LIKE THIS ONE !!
THE DOVA IS AN ALUMINUM FACTORY BUILT AIRPLANE DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED IN THE CZECH ? REPUBLIC.
WITH IT"S LARGE SLIDE FORWARD CANOPY WITH SUN-SHADES, LONG SMOOTH WINGS, T TAIL, AND THOSE SEXY UPSWEPT WINGLETS ON THE TIPS, THE DOVA IS A SWEET, MODERN LOOKING AIRPLANE !!
THIS AIRPLANE SUFFERED DAMAGE WHEN THE NOSE FORK RETAINING FLANGE BROKE ON A HARD NOSEFIRST LANDING. I WOULDNT BLAME THE GEAR SO MUCH, AS THE BOUNCE WAS ENOUGH TO PUT WRINKLES IN BOTH SIDES OF THE FUSELAGE FRAME, FORWARD OF THE WINDSHIELD.
THE BEST NEWS ABOUT THIS AIRPLANE IS THAT ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS SLEEK, THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION ARE VERY SIMPLE.
ALTHOUGH PARTS ARE STILL READILY AVAILABLE FROM DOVA (THE AIRPLANE IS STILL IN NEW PRODUCTION), THE GUYS AT THE LOCAL SHOP, WHO MAINTAINED TWO OF THESE, HAVE HAD GOOD LUCK REPAIRING MANY ITEMS WITH SIMPLE, STRAIGHTFORWARD CONSTRUCTION AND FABRICATION METHODS, SO THEY HAVENT HAD TO SEND AWAY FOR PARTS VERY OFTEN.
IN ADDITION TO THE WRINKLING ON THE BOOT COWL, THE NOSE GEAR STRUT IS BROKEN AT THE BOTTOM, THE LOWER FIBERGLASS COWL HAS SOME VERY LIGHT DAMAGE, AND THE WOOD/COMPOSITE PROP HAS DAMAGED BLADES.
THE ROTAX 912ULS IS NOT DAMAGED PHYSICALLY, AND ROTAX DOES NOT REQUIRE A TEARDOWN OF THE MOTOR AFTER A PROP STRIKE, JUST AN INSPECTION OF THE GEAR REDUCTION UNIT ON THE FRONT, AND EVEN THAT CAN BE DONE IN HOUSE, WITHOUT REQUIRING SENDING IT BACK TO THE FACTORY.
THERE IS SKIN DEFORMATION AT THE SPOT WHERE THE CANOPY SLIDES BACK TO LATCH WITH THE FIXED FRAME, BUT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NOSEGEAR INCIDENT, AS THE OTHER DOVA HAS THE SAME ISSUE.
THE WINGS, TAIL, CONTROL SURFACES AND MAIN GEAR SHOW NO DAMAGE FROM THE INCIDENT, AND IN FACT THE NOSE WHEEL AND FORK LOOK OK TOO.
TOTAL AIRFRAME TIME SINCE NEW IS ONLY 946 HOURS, FOR BOTH THE ENGINE AND AIRFRAME !!!!!!
THAT"S NOT VERY MANY !!
LOCATED AT THE TRACY CALIFORNIA AIRPORT, SOUTH OF SAN FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND.
WE WILL PAY THE TIE-DOWN FEE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION.
SOLD WITH FAA BILL OF SALE AND LOGBOOKS FOR ENGINE AND AIRFRAME.
DASH IS SOLD AS SHOWN, WITH INSTRUMENTATION BUT NO RADIOS, SO YOU ARE FREE TO INSTALL YOUR CHOICE.
VERY EASY TO DISASSEMBLE, 2 GUYS CAN HAVE IT APART AND LOADED ONTO A SMALL TRAILER IN 1 AFTERNOON.
BRING IT HOME, FIX IT UP IN YOUR GARAGE (OR HANGER IF YOU ARE THAT LUCKY, AND BRING IT TO YOUR AIRPORT WHEN YOU ARE READY TO FLY.
THE ONLY REAL COMPLAINT ABOUT LIGHT SPORT AIRPLANES IS THE COST. MOST NEW ONES ARE NOW $120,000 TO $150,000.
THIS ONE IS CHEAP TO BUY, CHEAP TO FIX, AND CHEAP TO FLY (4.5 GALLONS PER HOUR OF AUTO FUEL)
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR ?
